Saturday had a heat advisory here in Phoenix so that, along with maybe not enough folks expected in attendance, the show was moved to the indoor stage. That, my friends, was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge bummer, I'm not going to lie; I worked my "lemons to lemonade" haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard................ Andy had worked so hard to sell tickets, we worked hard getting our honorary Honey Shaker from the Hardways, Nate, up to speed on our songs, and well, I wanted that big stage! It's been a while since we've been on one it seems, and then to finally, F I N A L L Y open for a grand band, well, I wanted that stage! I will say that playing on the small stage was, in the end, probably less nerve wracking so maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe it was for the best…maybe.

Sound at BLK Live is amazing and we give a huge shout out to their sound engineer, George Blake.

Our set this night: IF ROMANCE IS DEAD, KNITTING SONG, CRUMB, HOTEL YORBA, KICK ASS BOOTS, ONE FOR HEART, STATE OF AFFAIRS, ADD IT UP, WHISPER MY NAME, and WALK AWAY NOW.

With that set, you know it rocked, from the first song to the last! So.much.fun. With those songs, a lot of friends and family in attendance, and knowing you’re going to hear your cover song LIVE from the rock band who freaking wrote it and I’m sure with a gold (or more) record of it…there’s no way to put that into words…

Then you meet Dramarama after the show to tell them how awesome they were and then they tell YOU that YOU did a great job? Shut up! I mean, these guys are the real deal…their show was AMAZING!!! Talk about rocking from the first song to the last!!! And funny, we were talking with their super, kickass bass player, Mike Davis, and drummer, Tony Snow, after their show, and let me tell you, hearing them with their mad-crazy-good skills telling YOU that you did a great job and validating what YOU do…I can’t even! I will share one thing that Mike said...he heard us before he saw us, then saw us, and he knew he had a rock show on his hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Dramarama fans. They didn’t know who we were and could have easily ignored us. Luckily for us, they didn’t and instead, cheered us on, high-fived us after the show and picked up our merch! Thank you, guys!!! And our friends and family…you know WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Thank you for watching our Dramarama cover video yesterday and thank you for <3 ing their song! Andy suggested we cover it a few years ago and we loved it so much, we put it on our record, Eyes on the Prize. I reached out to John Easdale, lead singer of Dramarama and writer of the song, and he thought us giving it play was very cool and he wished us well on our musical journey!

When I saw Dramarama was coming to town in September, our friends did too and they invited us to the show with them. Somehow I found courage to ask John directly if we could just open the show and share THAT adventure with our friends...and he said YES! A few more emails with BLK Live and poof, my friends, we are OPENING for Dramarama at BLK Live on Saturday, September 15!!!!!

Big shows also mean big support via ticket sales, and that said, we have your General Admission tickets with NO service fees for $20 each; buy from us and save about $10! Email us and we'll get your tickets to you ASAP!

I say it every time...photos of your band are such gifts and we are so grateful. We met David Majure a few months ago at a show at the Rockbar up in Scottsdale, and that was a lucky meet up! I posted one of his photos from that show, and now he's gifted us with a few photos from our show last weekend at Last Exit Live in Phoenix. Both shows were with our band friends, Southwest by Midnight!
